Secondary School Applications Open

Applications for Year 7 secondary school places for September 2027 open on 1 September 2026 and close on 31 October 2026.

Please note that you must submit your application through the Local Authority where your child lives. Most of our families will apply through Birmingham City Council, but if you live in another authority area, such as Solihull, you should apply through your home Local Authority instead.

We strongly encourage families to:
- Attend secondary school open evenings and tours.
- Research admission arrangements carefully.
- List up to 6 schools in order of preference.
- Submit their application before the deadline, as late applications are considered after on-time applications have been processed.
